First People’s Hospital, special care ward.
“Xiaoya, you’ve finally woken up.”
Jin Songyang’s eyes lit up with joy when he saw Jin Xiaoya open her eyes.
After Li Feng left yesterday, he had waited an hour for Jin Xiaoya’s surgery to finish. That hour of waiting had truly frightened him. He had genuinely worried that something might happen to Jin Xiaoya, and he would not know how to explain it to their parents. Fortunately, the surgery was successful, and by this morning, Jin Xiaoya had passed the critical period.
“Brother, where am I?” Jin Xiaoya looked at Jin Songyang and asked in some confusion.
“You’re in the hospital,” Jin Songyang replied.
“The hospital?” Jin Xiaoya thought for a moment, recalling the scene from last night when she had gone out alone and been hit by a car on the road. Fear appeared in her eyes.
“Xiaoya, don’t worry. You’re fine now. You just need to rest for a while,” Jin Songyang comforted her. He was truly concerned that yesterday’s car accident might leave some shadow in Jin Xiaoya’s heart, which would be troublesome.
“Really?” A gleam flashed in Jin Xiaoya’s eyes. “Then when can I get up…”
“Xiaoya, your injuries are quite serious. It might take a month,” Jin Songyang said after thinking about it. Given her injuries, she probably would not be able to get out of bed for three months, but Jin Songyang knew his sister very well. If he told her it would take three months, she would definitely be devastated.
“Ah, a whole month.” Jin Xiaoya was shocked. Lying in bed for a month would feel like killing her.
“A month isn’t long. Last night, if not for Li Feng, you might have been in life-threatening danger,” Jin Songyang said.
“Li Feng? Brother, what does this have to do with Li Feng?” Jin Xiaoya asked in confusion. Because Li Feng had scolded Ying Suyan and called her an idiot at the resort hotel, Jin Xiaoya’s impression of him was not good at all.
“Last night, you…” Jin Songyang briefly explained what had happened the previous night, and finally said, “Li Feng is now your lifesaver.”
Jin Xiaoya was stunned. She had never expected that it was Li Feng who saved her.
“Xiaoya, rest well now.”
Jin Songyang comforted Jin Xiaoya for a while, then left the ward.
“Young master.” As soon as Jin Songyang stepped out of the special care ward, a middle-aged man approached and called out to him.
Jin Songyang gestured. “Let’s talk next door.”
“Yes.”
Jin Songyang led the middle-aged man to the lounge next to the special care ward, then asked him, “Have you investigated last night’s incident thoroughly?”
“It’s been investigated clearly, young master. Here are the detailed records from last night.” The middle-aged man handed over several sheets of paper to Jin Songyang.
Jin Songyang took them and glanced over, a cold light flashing in his eyes. “As expected, just like Li Feng said. Drunk driving? What a convenient drunk driving. Do you think it’s believable?”
“Young master, according to our investigation, that Young Master Kong did indeed drink a lot at the nightclub, but…” the middle-aged man replied.
“But what?” Jin Songyang asked.
“But after checking Young Master Kong’s past records, we found he has never driven drunk before. Every time he went to a nightclub to drink, he brought a driver. This was the only exception,” the middle-aged man replied.
“An exception?”
A glint flashed in Jin Songyang’s eyes. “Did you find anything else?”
The middle-aged man shook his head. “For now, that’s all we’ve found.”
Jin Songyang asked, “Where is Young Master Kong now?”
“He’s currently at the police station,” the middle-aged man replied.
“Get him out, no matter what. Whether it was drunk driving or not, I won’t let him off easily.” A cold light flashed in Jin Songyang’s eyes.
“Yes.” The middle-aged man nodded.
“Also, I want those Captain Dai and Captain Su dead.” Thinking of how those two had nearly caused Jin Xiaoya’s death, a killing intent surged from Jin Songyang.
“I will arrange it immediately.” The middle-aged man nodded.
“By the way, do you have any intelligence on the Hongmen right now?” As Jin Songyang was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and asked the middle-aged man.
“Hongmen?” The middle-aged man was taken aback. Of course they had intelligence on Hongmen, but he was unsure which aspect Jin Songyang wanted.
“Intelligence on Hongmen leader Chen Junyi.” Jin Songyang felt that since Li Feng had saved Jin Xiaoya, he needed to repay the favour. So he thought of Hongmen. Rumours were everywhere that Li Feng had killed Chen Haotian. Jin Songyang did not know if Li Feng had really done it, but he thought he could help Li Feng a bit.
“Yes, we have it.” The middle-aged man nodded.
“If you have it, find a way to get a copy to Li Feng,” Jin Songyang said solemnly.
“Is the young master trying to repay Li Feng’s favour?” A sharp light flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes.
“A favour? Favours aren’t repaid so easily.” Jin Songyang shook his head. A single piece of intelligence on Hongmen’s Chen Junyi was far from enough to repay Li Feng’s favour.
He knew how important Jin Xiaoya was to the family. Even he himself was not as important as Jin Xiaoya. In two years, if Jin Xiaoya went to that place, the family would truly rise. So in these two years, nothing could happen to Jin Xiaoya.
If anything happened to Jin Xiaoya, those people would not let the family off. Therefore, Li Feng saving Jin Xiaoya was a huge favour.
If Li Feng were not currently facing revenge from Hongmen leader Chen Junyi, he might step in to help resolve the trouble. Unfortunately, Li Feng was up against Hongmen’s Chen Junyi. Let alone him being just the young master of the Jin family, even the Jin family head would not dare confront Hongmen so easily.
The middle-aged man was stunned but said nothing, turned, and left the lounge to make arrangements.
Jin Songyang walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the busy road in the distance, a cold light flashing in his eyes. “Young Master Kong, whether you hit Xiaoya accidentally while drunk driving or had another purpose, I will not let you go.”
In a dark basement in Tianhai City, a masked middle-aged man coldly stared at a man and a woman standing before him and said solemnly, “Do you know the purpose of my visit this time?”
“Lord Blood Shadow, we know,” the two quickly replied.
“Very good. I need to know every move Li Feng makes. Can you manage that?” This masked middle-aged man was none other than Blood Shadow, sent by Chen Junyi to kill Li Feng.
“Lord Blood Shadow, rest assured. Every move Li Feng makes is under our surveillance,” the black-clothed man in front of Blood Shadow replied.
“Lord Blood Shadow, when shall we make a move on Li Feng?” the red-clothed woman asked.
“No rush.” A sharp light flashed in Blood Shadow’s eyes as he said solemnly, “Have you thoroughly investigated the people around Li Feng?”
“Lord Blood Shadow, rest assured. In Tianhai City, everyone connected to Li Feng has been investigated clearly,” the red-clothed woman replied.
“Very good. Before killing Li Feng, I will kill everyone connected to him one by one. Let Li Feng know what true fear is.” Blood Shadow let out a cold, sinister laugh.
The black-clothed man and red-clothed woman shuddered. They had never expected that the reason Lord Blood Shadow had them investigate Li Feng’s connections was this. Worthy of being the hidden blade in the leader’s hand. Such scheming and methods were unmatched.
“What is the Zhu family’s current response?” Blood Shadow continued asking.
“News from the Zhu family says they have instructed their eldest miss, Zhu Yuanyang, to cooperate with us in eliminating Li Feng,” the red-clothed woman replied.
“Zhu Yuanyang? The young master’s fiancée?” A glint flashed in Blood Shadow’s eyes as he asked solemnly.
“Yes,” the red-clothed woman nodded.
“I heard the young master clashed with Li Feng because of Zhu Yuanyang and died at Li Feng’s hands?” Blood Shadow continued.
“Yes.”
“Very good.” A glint flashed in Blood Shadow’s eyes as he said coldly, “Although the young master died at Li Feng’s hands, Zhu Yuanyang cannot escape responsibility.”
“Lord Blood Shadow, do you intend to deal with Zhu Yuanyang?” The black-clothed man was startled. Zhu Yuanyang was the eldest miss of the Zhu family. Could the leader be planning to turn against the Zhu family?
“As for Zhu Yuanyang? No, no.”
Blood Shadow shook his head, a light flashing in his eyes as he said solemnly, “The Zhu family wants Zhu Yuanyang to cooperate with us in killing Li Feng, so let her kill a few more people, such as Hu Yuanyuan.”
“Lord Blood Shadow intends to kill with a borrowed knife.” The black-clothed man’s eyes lit up.
“Heh heh.”
Blood Shadow sneered. This plan was not his own idea. The first thing he did upon arriving in Tianhai City was to contact the person Chen Junyi had told him to find. That person had come up with the plan, saying that Li Feng’s power in Tianhai City was strong. Even if he killed Li Feng, it might come at a cost. It would be better to use Zhu Yuanyang as the knife.
Blood Shadow knew that although Chen Junyi did not say it, he had long been dissatisfied with Zhu Yuanyang because Chen Haotian died near her villa. If not for Zhu Yuanyang being the eldest miss of the Zhu family, Blood Shadow believed Chen Junyi would have acted against her.
So when that person proposed this borrowed-knife plan, he agreed without hesitation. He felt that if Chen Junyi were here, he would certainly approve.
Moreover, now that the Zhu family was having Zhu Yuanyang cooperate, he thought it would be perfectly justifiable to use her.
“Lord Blood Shadow, Li Feng has offended many people in Tianhai City. To deal with him, we could unite those people. If Lord Blood Shadow agrees, I am willing to unite them for you,” the black-clothed man said solemnly.
“No need. To deal with one Li Feng, Zhu Yuanyang is enough.” Blood Shadow shook his head without hesitation. He wanted to use Zhu Yuanyang’s hand to kill those around Li Feng because she was Chen Haotian’s fiancée and bore inescapable responsibility for his death. But if he used others, would that not imply his own incompetence?
“You may leave.” Blood Shadow said to the black-clothed man and red-clothed woman.
“Yes.” The two bowed to Blood Shadow and left the basement.
Soon after, Blood Shadow’s sinister laughter echoed in the basement. “Li Feng, oh Li Feng, I will make you know what despair is, what fear is.”
